Farmer Kelly (January 22, 1889 – April 26, 1961) was a college football player, from Orlinda, Tennessee.

[3][4] He was the All-Southern captain of the Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Association (SIAA) champion 1914 team.

Winning all nine of their games, the 1914 squad was only the second undefeated team in Tennessee history.

The 1914 Vols were retroactively awarded a national championship by 1st-N-Goal, though this remains largely unrecognized.

The work of the Tennessee line was easily the feature of the contest, and Sewanee early discovered that it was practically useless to rely on line plunges to gain ground.
